Clarification Letter

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I have been told by some on the lines that I am too spiritual or think I am better than others or perfect. I would like to clarify. I have never said that and I am not sure if I am saying that body language wise either. If it is in regards to the notes I write. I am not considering myself above anyone. I am fighting in the battle along with you. If anything I pray and look at different sources (the bible being the main one) especially where the spirit leads. Am I without sin? God forbid if I say I am without sin. For if I say that I am a liar and the truth is not in me. For the bible states there is one man who walked the earth without sin and that was Jesus. Am I trying to condemn others? Again God forbid, I do not have a heaven or hell to put you in nor am I able to save you from your sins. So what is the purpose? I am glad you asked. I am only trying to enlight and share knowledge from what I have received. I do not know everything but I hope through sharing the Word of God others will take it in and hopefully help you and others in the walk with Christ. For in Hosea 4:6 states, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge......"

Therefore I hope if you are one of the people who thinks the way the first line of this note, please look at my previous note and look at them as ways to help equip you against the works of Satan, which I hope will help you fight off the devil more effectively. For it is hard to go to war against an enemy whom you know very little.

Also I would like to take the time to encourage you in the Lord. Even if you think your situation is hopeless or you may not feel worthy of coming to God. I will like to tell you don't worry nothing is too hard for God. If you come to Him with a sincere heart and repent; He will receive you. Actually He will meet you while you are coming like the father did for the prodigal son (Luke 15:20). Also try to get to a church with a good leader/pastor. What is the point of going to church? Well look at it this way studies show that if one hang around a group of people the person pick up some characteristics of the group. Same as the reason stated in Amos 3:3 and II Corinthians 6:14 in the bible. An eagle cannot expect to learn how to fly and soar hanging around the chickens. Therefore it would be helpful to be around a group that is trying to follow the Lord.

Also as a warning, I beseech (beg) you brethren and sisters please please please please ( I hope you will see the importance of what I am about to say next) do not let the people who been in church 10, 15,....., 50 years try to discourage you away from God. People in the church that try to give rules to those coming to Christ in which they themselves are not keeping or even trying to keep. These people are in a dangerous state/mindset which is that they have arrived. I have some bad news to tell you as long as you are on the earth you will never arrive. Sanctification is a continual process and the Holy Spirit with us on inside so it can show on the outside.

In essence, I am a sinner that is saved by the grace and mercy from the Lord through the washing of my sins through the blood of Jesus. If you are in the Huntsville area and you do not have a church home, I would like to invite you to my church where our pastor is lead by God. Also those who have church homes are welcome to visit as well.

Finally if you have comments, have a prayer request, or just need someone to talk to you can leave me a note on myspace or email me at greg_stargell@yahoo.com or greg.stargell@gmail.com and I could give you my phone number where you can reach me.

May God bless you and direct thy path,
Greg Stargell
